Ecuador. B.M. 
Described from a male obtained in Colombia. The female

the apex being dark and the external area buff streaked with 
whitish. 
49. Azelina decora, sp. 0. 
Allied to A. speciosata, with almost the same pattern, the 
primaries altogether redder; the olivaceous basal area replaced 
by purplish brown ; the olive borders of the ordinary black 
lines narrower and darker; the pale patch on the internal 
area just beyond the discal line much narrower, grey bordered 
externally with white; the external third of the primaries 
bright cupreous orange, with the area nearest to external 
angle and a subapical patch slightly darker and speckled with 
grey; no white zigzag discal stripe: secondaries with the 
discoidal area dull ochreous, the costal and abdominal areas 
to the discal line cream-coloured mottled with grey ; discal line
